pdf Oil and gas perspective targets of the sub salt Paleozoic of the Pre-Caspian basin
The data on the known and assumed subsalt oil and gas prospective structures (traps) of the Pre-Caspian depression are analyzed taking into account the new investigations. Among the major traps are dominated by carbonate (buildups) and terrigenous (fan deep sea deposits) types. A new type of erosion-lithological traps formed during sea level falls was revealed. Large undiscovered traps are located mainly at depths of 6-8 km. The present forecasted resources of hydrocarbons are significantly higher than have been explored ones.

Keywords: carbonate buildups, fan deep sea sedimentation, erosion-lithological traps, structural traps, inferred hydrocarbons resources, Pre-Caspian basin.
